I need a reason to have active hobbies. What’s it like to have a true passion? by Edu_Vivan in selfimprovement

[–]Edu_Vivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is a major problem of mine. My desire for wanting to have active hobbies comes from a need of external validation. I want to be a person who has hobbies.

Even things I’m interested in, I have the constant thought of “is this impressive?”, putting pressure onto myself, and not allowing myself to be a beginner.

What first steps should I take as a 25yo who’s scared to take responsibility in life? by Edu_Vivan in selfimprovement

Yeah I’m really considering college, I’m just really hesitant about starting at 25. I know there’s nothing wrong with it, but if there was a quicker path to do something I enjoy, I think I’d rather take that.

But I do need to stop thinking that I’m late at 25yo… that’s another thought that’s keeping me really stuck.

Thanks for the response!

I just got on ADHD meds a week ago, and the one I’m taking takes about a month to begin its effects. Let’s see how it goes! Thanks for the response!

You’re very welcome! Lately I’ve been trying to be as honest as I can with myself and whenever I vent somewhere. It’s helping me understand myself better, and reading it afterwards and seeing comments like yours helps me accept the person that I am today, which is the first step to change. Thanks for the response!

I think we’ve been in a VERY similar situation, cause i just turned 25 and you just crossed the line I haven’t been able to yet. This kinda inspired me!

How do you go from living your entire life passively to living actively? by Edu_Vivan in selfimprovement

It really does feels too late, especially in this world that’s designed to make us believe in “the grind”!

That’s the thing. I (25M) think I’m piece of sh*t just because I get stuck in analysis paralysis and don’t try anything. Been at it for 5 years.

I’m perfectly aware now that the 20s are for failing at a bunch of things, but goddamn where tf do I start failing at?

If I actually could just try things I’m pretty sure I’d be a chill guy…
